Personally I don't like setting format in the HTML, I find it easier to manage in the stylesheet.

In site.css:

.row_2
  {
    background-color: #f4f4f4;
  }

.row_1
  {
    background-color: #ffffff;
  }

In generate.pl:

...
print "\@import url(/site.css);\n";
my $num_rowtypes = 2;
...
my $count = 0;
for(my $i=0;$i<=$#{$items_list};$i++)
  {
    print "<tr class=\"row_${count}\">".
            "<td class=\"pos\">".($i+1)."</td>\n";
    foreach my $col ("art","tit","yer","cht")
      {
        my $val = link_to($cat,$page,$col,$nam);
        print "<td class=\"$col\">".$val."</td>\n";
      }
    print "</tr>\n";

    $count++;
    $count = 0 if($count == $num_rowtypes);
  }
